Sure anyone can just play a class/job, but to play it well is what made 1.0 great. ex: a tank who don't know how to dodge, dps who should be does crappy dmg, whm who can't heal, blm who use spells correctly, etc. Don't get me wrong i still wanna see 2.0 at launch, but so far, i'm not very thrill about the battle style.

Nope.
They should bring back Stamina.

Using other MMOs as examples
SWTOR - 1.5 sec GCD
WOW - 1.5 sec GCD
Rift - 1 to 1.5 sec GCD

With ARR having a 3 sec GCD that is a lot of time where you are sitting there not pressing anything waiting for your GDC to come back up. Pushing a button every 3 sec seems rather slow when almost every other MMO out there has 1.5 sec or less GDC.

SE please lower the GCD on battle to make the combat faster and more enjoyable.

P.S. The guy in the video is also a clicker too, any serious guild would not allow clickers in their guild however he actually has time to hover over his next command due to long GCD.

It was specifically and clearly stated that the player was using the mouse for the sake of clarity in terms of seeing what he was doing.

The speed of combat was fine. do you want all enemies to die in 6 seconds or less or something? This isn't Black Ops- we don't need hyper twitch gamer action speed.

Oh, and "tank and spank?" XIV 1.0's combat was more elaborate... You can also make anything sound overly simply by limiting yourself to 2 adjectives in describing it. That doesn't mean it's actually that simple.

The OP never fails to prove ignorance and stupidity in every single post they ever make...

Get your britches on people, we got a Rokien class thread on the loose; If this thing gets in the hot topics it'll be a blood bath.

They said that once you reach high level the GCD would be down to 0

Poor guy probably mourning the loss of 1.0 somewhere.

I'm gonna be sincere, I little battle speed how it seems to be right now.
I really, really miss turn-based RPGs :(
